Because the story on Hayne and West I posted today doesn’t easily fit into a soundbite, it may be a bit of a challenge getting people to commit the time to read it.

I don’t usually ask this, but if you think promoting the story is worth some of your time, please vote it up at Digg and Reddit, send it to a few people (particularly any bloggers or journalists you know), and post it at whatever relevant bulletin boards and discussion groups you might frequent.

I’ll be posting about it later today when I get some time. Stunning piece really, thank you for bringing this story out to the public Radley. It definitely needs all the attention it can get!

But it’s not stunning that it happened, because I think it happens more often than we know, but because this kind of activity was actually caught on film and brought to the light of day.

After all, it’s just too tempting for prosecutors not to encourage or participate in this kind of misconduct since there is little risk of accountability and plenty of incentive to boost conviction rates.

Done and done, and done again. I haven’t seen anything more deserving of a blogstorm in… well… ever. Excellent job, Radley. While it sometimes may feel like you’re pounding your head against a brick wall, my hope that the wall might one day crumble remains bright.

I wish I could help, but I’m having difficulty concentrating on anything but my own pain, my need for justice in my own life. I know it’s egocentric. Intellectually, I notice what bigger problems there are than mine. But I’m weak. My brain is trapped in a loop.
